Audacity Forum

any luck trying to separate the audio of the radio from the womens voices or to make the womens voices clearer? Probably not. Try the Equalization effect with the "Telephone" preset. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/equalization.html That will reduce low frequencies and high frequenci...

It certainly isn't and would mean a lot of code changes for the use case of Audacity not as an audio editor but only as a player application or an application solely for examining the waveform. Examining waveforms (visually) was one of the original reasons that Dominic created Audacity, so I think ...

If user enable this option by mistake they should not blame this program. I agree, but unfortunately that is not the case. Users frequently make mistakes and blame Audacity for their mistake :( When Audacity can detect that the user may have made a mistake, and, if it is a mistake, that mistake wil...

I assume that you are on Windows, so moved to the Windows forum. It's not an audacity problem btw because i have it in all audio recording software (reaper) That is not a direct comparison because Reaper is probably using ASIO drivers while Audacity will be using standard Windows drivers (Reaper is ...

ALL high pass/low pass filters have a "roll-off slope". This is the "rate at which frequencies are attenuated beyond the filter frequency". This graph shows the response of a "6 dB/octave high pass filter": http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/m/images/1/1a/2kh_high_pass.pn...

Internal sledgehammer: External sledgehammer: I like the basic design of both. Although the external application is currently Windows only, I presume that, as it is wxWidgets, it could be cross-platform? Does the External Sledgehammer need to be "installed" on Mac? In spite of the clear i...

I think it's OK, but that is one reason why I would not want to go even smaller. You can try it yourself now - committed in r13631.

This is not work, this is fun! :D clearly we need both an external application and an addition to the Audacity GUI. Yes, I think that is agreed. I think what we now need is a solid design decision: I think a very good start would be one (sledgehammer) button in Preferences (perhaps below the "...

If you are currently using only the "normal" waveform view of the recording, you may find it useful to try the "spectrogram" views http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/track_drop_down_menu.html#spgram These views allow you to "see frequencies", and will careful observat...

ClipFix looks for flattened peaks - this sort of thing: firsttrack006.png and if found, can "restore" them like this: firsttrack007.png Note that it only works if the peaks have been flattened (as may occur if the audio is digitally clipped). Analog clipping tends to be less clearly define...
